Remy Etienne LeBeauDiable Blanc Gambit
----------------xxx------------xx--------x--------xx------------xxx----------------
Remy shifted uncomfortably on his motorcycle as he drove along
'What sort of crackpot idea was this, idiot?' he silently berated himself
'You think they'll just welcome you back after nearly ten years'; his inner paranoia had a point and it showed in the way he fidgeted. Sure when he had made the decision to return to the X Men a few weeks ago it had made sense, human and mutant kind were edging closer to full scale war, Hunters were on the loose and imprisoning innocent mutants and the brotherhood were increasing their activities; he'd even gone to the trouble of tracking down information on both sides as a sort of home-coming present. If he was going to take a stand if he was going to help, he had to do it now; and whether they wanted to admit it nor not the X Men needed him back. He now realised how much of an assumption that was.
Sighing he continued to drive allowing the sharp wind that buffeted his face to clear his mind, allowing the joy of open-aired high-speed travel to take over, he'd made up his mind now he just had to follow it through. It only took a little while longer, half hour at most, to arrive outside the X Mens new mansion; the now named Phoenix Institute, he smiled at that. Remy had always liked Jean despite their arguments, she along with a few others like Storm were the few who believed he had a decent heart underneath; who would be willing to forgive his past, unfortunately that hadn't been enough and now with his return he truly would miss her.
Parking in front of the main gates, it appeared so similar to the old one, he propped his motorbike in stand, swung both legs off of the vehicle and walked over to the intercom, a small stack of classified information folders in hand. Pausing to compose himself he pressed the intercom to, what he assumed the professors' office, and spoke without waiting for an initial response.
"So professor are you going to let an old friend in or is Remy gonna have to climb over this wall and run the gauntlet again". He hoped this cheeky statement was enough to grant him free access, while the mansions friends weren't impregnable to a master thief like himself they were particularly formidable, and one hell of a headache to get through
